Petition started to get State Rep. Naomi Gonzalez to resign

Last week Rep. Naomi Gonzalez apologized to her fellow state representatives in Austin following a DWI arrest.

This week, she's being asked to resign by members of the public through an online website.

On March 14th Gonzalez was arrested with a blood alcohol level twice the legal limit, according to officials and documents obtained by ABC-7.

The arrested occurred following a car wreck.

As a result of the arrest, a petition found online at change.org suggests Gonzalez step down from her position.

In part, the online petition reads: "As a representative and elected government official, Representative Gonzalez should be held to the highest accountability when it comes to upholding the laws of her state and the people that she represents."
